Subject: Blah....Pre Drums

This was the 50th Show at the Spectrum and they raised a banner beforehand to recognize that. I went to this show and remember liking the first set but having to keep myself awake during the 2nd. Anytime Victim is the highlight of the Pre-Drums you know its not boding well. Samba and Corrina had become the kiss of death to 2nd sets by this point and further listening has not swayed that opinion. Morning Dew was nice to close but didn't match the 03-27 version from earlier that year. The fall 94 run had some highlights but I don't think this would be my first choice.

I sang a little while and then flew on.

This is a terrible second set with a phoned in performance. Set 1 does have some energy but it is all gone by set 2. Do not waste your time even in the bad era of 1994-95 you can find some gems this show does not really offer any. If I had to say best songs of Night it would be the Stranger and thats it really. Having relistened the first set is solid set two is terrible, easily among the worst set 2 ever played with Jerry.

I missed the opening with the banner got to the seats just in time for the music to start. The sound was good and the band was "HOT" the energy was electric and you knew from the start it was going to be a good night. Jerry in shorts!!!! One of my top 5 shows, wish I could go into detail but its been 16 years. Saw this morning that they brought the old girl down had to find this show "GOD Bless the Grateful Dead"

I was lucky enough to score 2nd row seats for this memorable concert.local dj pierre robert intro. the concert and promised a a good one and the boys didnt dissapoint. the sugaree was one of the best of the tour and we were treated to a rockin corrina and what sounded like a matilda jam. also a beautiful version of That would be someting and the dew finished off a stellar show. a must have for your spectrum collection.

Subject: Goodbye Spectrum

Great show indeed!
And now, goodbye to the Spectrum, or as some folks called it, the 'Rectum'...because of it's crappy hockey rink sound. However; there's no doubt that we in Philly loved the Grateful Dead, AND that the Grateful Dead loved us right back!
The Spectrum comes down at the end of this month October 2009.

Both sources for this show are excellent, but this one really stands out for clarity and up front sound, with enough crowd for the "live" sound but never in your face. It really sounds like one of the Healy matrixes of old. Downloading as soon as I finish this review. :-)
